The Problem With AI Assistants

You tell ChatGPT about Sarah on Monday. By Wednesday, it's forgotten.

You make a promise in a meeting. Nobody tracks it. You promise a deliverable on Friday and lose track of it by Wednesday. You meet someone important, and three weeks later you can't remember what you talked about.

AI tools don't have memory. Claudia does.

What Makes Claudia Different

🎯 Catches Commitments Say "I'll send that by Friday" and she tracks it. On Friday morning, she reminds you.	🔗 Knows Your People Every person she meets gets a living profile: relationship health, contact trends, connected entities. Ask about anyone and she has the full picture.	⚖️ Learns Your Judgment Tell her "revenue work beats internal cleanup" once. She writes it down and applies it across sessions: briefs, triage, delegation, risk surfacing.
⚠️ Spots Patterns You Miss Overcommitting again? A key relationship going cold? The same mistake twice? She sees it forming and speaks up.	🧠 Second Brain in Obsidian Memory syncs to an Obsidian vault organized with PARA: Active projects, Relationships, Reference, Archive. Graph view maps your world. Plain markdown you own forever.	👥 Agent Team A two-tier team works behind the scenes. Fast Haiku workers handle document processing, while a Sonnet research scout tackles deep research with full autonomy.
🌙 Learns in the Background Overnight, old memories fade, near-duplicates merge, and patterns surface. Each morning she knows a little more than yesterday.	📄 Shows Her Sources Every fact traces to its source. Ask "how do you know that?" and she shows the receipt.	🪞 Session Reflections End a session with /meditate and she extracts what she learned: your preferences, patterns, and judgment calls. Next session, she's sharper.

How Her Mind Works

💾 Remember Every fact is stored with who said it, when, and how confident she is. Embeddings capture meaning, not just keywords, so "we pushed the launch" and "timeline shifted" connect naturally.	🔍 Recall Search blends meaning similarity, importance, recency, and full-text matching. Accessing a memory strengthens it, just like the rehearsal effect in human cognition.
🌙 Consolidate Overnight background jobs fade old memories, merge near-duplicates, and surface patterns: cooling relationships, overdue commitments, repeated behaviors. She wakes up sharper.	📓 Vault Memory syncs to an Obsidian vault organized with PARA: Active projects, Relationships, Reference material, Archive. Graph view shows how your world connects. Plain markdown you own forever.

Quick Start

1. Install

npx get-claudia

2. Start

cd claudia
claude

3. Say hi. She'll introduce herself, learn about you through a natural conversation, and generate a personalized workspace.

What's next:

• /morning-brief to see what needs attention
• Tell her about a person and she'll create a relationship file
• Share meeting notes and she'll extract action items
• npx get-claudia google to connect Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and more

Requirements: Claude Code, Node.js 18+, Python 3.10+ (for memory), Ollama (for embeddings)

Embeddings model: After installing Ollama, pull the required model: ollama pull all-minilm:l6-v2

Template-only install (no memory system)

npx get-claudia my-project --no-memory

Installs only the template layer (skills, commands, rules). Claudia works using markdown files without semantic search or pattern detection. You can add the memory system later by running the installer again without --no-memory.

Upgrading or fixing a broken install?

cd your-claudia-directory
npx get-claudia .

This upgrades framework files (CLAUDE.md, skills, rules, daemon code) while preserving your data (context/, people/, projects/, databases). Safe to run multiple times. The installer detects existing installations and only updates system files.

See It in Action

You:     What do I know about Sarah Chen?

Claudia: Sarah Chen is CEO at Meridian Ventures. You met at SaaStr 2025.

         📊 Relationship Health: Strong (last contact 3 days ago)

         🎯 Open Commitments:
         • Send updated pitch deck to Sarah [OVERDUE - was due Friday]

         💡 Recent Context:
         • She's interested in AI infrastructure angle
         • Wants to see technical architecture doc
         • Bringing in technical partner for next meeting

         🔗 Connected to: Series A (project), Priya Sharma (introduced by)

         Source: Call notes from Jan 28, Email thread Jan 30

Morning brief pulls everything together:

You:     /morning-brief

Claudia: ☀️ Morning Brief — Wednesday, Feb 19

         ⚠️ Needs Attention:
         • Send updated pitch deck to Sarah Chen [OVERDUE]
         • Quarterly review with Acme Corp is tomorrow

         👀 Watch:
         • Haven't spoken to Marcus in 18 days (usually weekly)
         • Two new commitments this week, zero closed

         📊 Today: 3 meetings, 2 open commitments

Judgment rules shape everything she does:

You:     I've got the Acme proposal and Marcus wants a catch-up.
         Which first?

Claudia: Acme proposal. Your judgment rules say revenue-generating
         work beats relationship maintenance when there's a
         deadline, and the Acme proposal is due Thursday.

         I'll remind you about Marcus tomorrow morning.

Pattern detection works across weeks, not just moments:

Claudia: I've noticed something across the last few weeks.
         You've taken on 4 new commitments without closing any.
         Last time this happened (early January), two slipped
         past deadline.

         Want me to flag the lowest-priority ones so you can
         decide what to defer?

Every conversation builds on the last. She remembers.

Obsidian Vault

Memory auto-syncs to an Obsidian vault at ~/.claudia/vault/ using PARA structure. Every entity becomes a markdown note with [[wikilinks]], so Obsidian's graph view maps your network. SQLite is the source of truth; the vault is a read-only projection you can browse and search.

How It Works

41 skills · 33 MCP tools · 500+ tests

Claudia has two layers:

Template layer (markdown) defines who she is. 41 skills, rules, and identity files that Claude reads on startup. Skills range from proactive behaviors (commitment detection, pattern recognition, judgment awareness) to user-invocable workflows (/morning-brief, /research, /meditate). Workspace templates let you spin up new projects with /new-workspace [name].

Memory system (Python) defines what she remembers. Two daemon modes share the same SQLite database:

Daemon	When	Purpose
MCP daemon	Per-session (stdio)	Serves ~33 memory tools to Claude Code
Standalone daemon	24/7 (LaunchAgent)	Runs scheduled jobs even when Claude Code is closed

Scheduled Job	When	What It Does
Adaptive decay	2 AM	Fades old memories, high-importance at half rate
Consolidation	3 AM	Merges duplicates, detects patterns, tracks relationships
Vault sync	3:15 AM	Syncs memory to Obsidian vault (PARA structure)
Pattern detection	Every 6h	Surfaces trends across conversations

                                                           (PARA structure)

Agent team for speed. Claudia delegates structured work to a two-tier team. Tier 1 (Haiku): fast workers for document archiving, processing, and schedule analysis. Tier 2 (Sonnet): a research scout with independent context for multi-turn web research. Claudia keeps relationship judgment and strategy decisions for herself.

Technical deep dive

Semantic search uses hybrid ranking: 50% vector similarity, 25% importance, 10% recency, 15% full-text. Accessing a memory boosts it (rehearsal effect).

Judgment layer stores user-defined decision rules in context/judgment.yaml. Rules are extracted during /meditate reflections and applied by morning briefs, commitment detection, and risk surfacing. Claudia learns your priorities once and applies them consistently.

Document storage keeps files, transcripts, emails on disk, linked to people and memories. Content-hash deduplication. Automatic lifecycle management.

Provenance chains trace any fact to its source email, transcript, or conversation.

Graph traversal connects dots across your network. Ask about one person, see related entities with top memories. The 3D brain visualizer (/brain) renders the graph in real-time.

Per-project isolation keeps work memories separate from personal. Each workspace gets its own database.

Session reflections (/meditate) extract learnings about your preferences, communication patterns, and judgment calls. These persist across sessions and make Claudia progressively sharper.

For full architecture diagrams, see ARCHITECTURE.md.

Privacy and Safety

• Fully local. Memory, embeddings, cognitive tools run on your machine. No external APIs for storage.
• No external actions without approval. Every email, calendar event, external action requires your explicit "yes."
• Your data in two formats. SQLite database (~/.claudia/memory/) for fast semantic search, plus a PARA-organized Obsidian vault for reading and graph navigation. Two independent copies you own forever.
• Delete anything, anytime. Full control over your data. No lock-in, no cloud dependency.

System Requirements

Component	Required	Purpose
Claude Code	Yes	Runtime
Node.js 18+	Yes	Installer
Python 3.10-3.13	Recommended	Memory system
Ollama	Recommended	Embeddings + cognitive tools

Without the memory system, Claudia still works using markdown files. With it, she gains semantic search, pattern detection, and relationship tracking.

Ollama model: Run ollama pull all-minilm:l6-v2 after installing Ollama. This is the embedding model used for semantic search.

Platforms: macOS, Linux, Windows

Troubleshooting

Memory tools not appearing in Claude Code?

• Check .mcp.json has a claudia-memory entry with the correct venv Python path
• Restart Claude Code in a NEW terminal
• Re-run the installer to fix paths: npx get-claudia .

Check standalone daemon health:

curl http://localhost:3848/status
launchctl list | grep claudia
tail -20 ~/.claudia/daemon-stderr.log

Standalone daemon not running?

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.claudia.memory.plist

Ollama not running after reboot?

open -a Ollama          # macOS
ollama serve            # Linux

Pull models manually:

ollama pull all-minilm:l6-v2    # Embeddings (required)

Google Workspace not working after enabling new APIs? Delete the cached token and restart to re-authenticate with updated scopes:

rm ~/.workspace-mcp/token.json
# Restart Claude Code

Broken install? Re-run setup:

cd your-claudia-directory
npx get-claudia .

This updates daemon code, skills, and rules while preserving your databases and context files.
